Queen of Dragons and Roses (2024) Scultura da Olga Sviridova

This ceramic figurine is a bright and whimsical composition combining elements of
fairy tale, fantasy and pop art. The central figure is a young woman in the image of
a queen, sitting on a throne formed by her lush red dress. A golden crown shines
on her head, emphasizing her royal status. Her short black hair frames a face with
expressive eyes and bright red lips. Around her neck is an Elizabethan-style white
collar, adding a historical accent.
On either side of the queen are two small green dragons. Their appearance is
cartoonish and friendly rather than intimidating, creating an interesting contrast to
the traditional image of these mythical creatures. The dragons have wings, sharp
teeth, and other characteristic features, but their large eyes and overall
appearance are more endearing than frightening.
In her hands, the queen holds a yellow rose, the centerpiece that links her to her
surroundings. Around the base of the figure are scattered a few more yellow roses
with green leaves, creating a natural entourage and adding even more bright
colors to the composition.
The sculpture creates a fairy-tale, slightly ironic atmosphere. It combines elements
of classic porcelain figurines with modern pop art and fantasy. The bright colors,
smooth surfaces and unusual combination of elements create a memorable and
playful image that can evoke associations with children's fairy tales or modern
reinterpretations of classic stories.
The entire sculpture is mounted on an oval black stand, which serves as a
contrasting background emphasizing the brightness and liveliness of the main
elements.
Symbolism and authorial meaning:
1. The Queen symbolizes power, femininity, and perhaps the connection between
